Pope St. Eutychian
?–283 CE · Luni (Luna)
Eutychian held the Roman see for roughly eight years in the late third century, a period of relative peace before the great persecution of Diocletian. Reliable information about him is very sparse. The Liber Pontificalis assigns him an origin in the Tuscan town of Luni and credits him with liturgical regulations concerning the blessing of crops and the burial of martyrs, but these attributions carry little historical weight. He was buried in the Catacombs of Callixtus, where a fragment of his Greek epitaph was recovered, confirming his interment there. Later traditions of martyrdom are doubtful. Eutychian remains among the most obscure third-century bishops of Rome.
